Beahvior of the solutions to the wave equation in compactified hyperboloidal slicing
Ivánek, Richard ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kofroň, David (referee)
In this bachelor thesis we discuss the effects of compactification and hyperboloidal slicing of spacetime in the numerical solution of wave equation primarily for their appli- cation in numerical relativity. The aim was to find the pros and cons of these concepts, to illustrate expected problems using diagrams and to rate the results obtained in spe- cific model problems. A brief explanation and demonstration of relevant numerical me- thods, hyperbolic Cauchy hypersurfaces, compactification and causal diagrams is a part of the thesis. As a conclusion, the effect of compactification and slicing on the accuracy of differential and integrational schemes was compared as well as the effect of discrete representation on the quality of initial data. 1

C-metric as a limit of photon rocket
Hauser, Vít ; Kofroň, David (advisor) ; Švarc, Robert (referee)
Tato práce se zabývá oblastí přesných řešení Einstenových rovnic. Toto téma zůstává po delší dobu předmětem soustředěného studia studia na MFF UK. Zaměřil jsem se na studium kosmické struny u metriky popisující akceleraci dvou černých děr, tzv. C-metriky. Cílem práce je přehledně shrnout vlastnosti několika skupin řešení - Robinson-Trautmanových řešení obecně; specificky fotonových raket a C-metriky. Následně pak ověřit možnost pře- vodu řešení založených na modelu fotonových raket na C-metriku. Zajímavou podúlohou je fokusace záření umožňující popis vakuové C-metriky. K řešení otázek v této oblasti se využívá systémů počítačové algebry k zjednodušování složitých výrazů. V druhé části je předložen problém nalezení alternativního popisu strun v rámci těchto řešení. Rozveden je i jednodušší problém Schwarzschildovy metriky proťaté kosmickou strunou. Podstatou řešení je hledání způsobu přechodu k těmto metrikám. Práce prezen- tuje a diskutuje řešení těchto úloh. Autorovi se, nicméně, nepodařilo popsat systematický způsob jak nalézat řešení s požadovanými vlastnostmi výsledné metriky. 1

Interpretation of the sources of the known solutions of Teukolsky equations
Mikeska, Václav ; Kofroň, David (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee)
Many realistic astrophysical problems can be treated as perturbations. It turns out that the NP formalism is a very successful tool in electromagnetic perturbations on Kerr background. We investigate stationary axisymmetric test electromagnetic field generated by static axisymmetric charge distribution and stationary axisymmetric tangential cur- rents around Kerr black hole. We found a simple relation between electromagnetic field NP scalars φ0 and φ2 and then we got an explicit formula for the third NP scalar φ1 by solving Maxwell equations with electromagnetic sources. Next, we investigate the problem of visualisation of electromagnetic field and develop a visualisation method on arbitrary background, which emphasize local field measured by an observer. We illustrate this method with several examples of electromagnetic fields. 1

Thermodynamics of spacetime: A new perspective from the quantum realm
Liška, Marek ; Alonso Serrano, Ana (advisor) ; Oriti, Daniele (referee)
The main result of the thesis is the derivation of quantum phenomenological gravi- tational dynamics from the thermodynamics of local causal diamonds. By taking into account logarithmic corrections to entropy implied by quantum gravity effects, we derive new gravitational equations of motion which incorporate quantum corrections. The re- sulting theory appears to be a direct generalisation of the classical unimodular gravity instead of the general relativity. Upon obtaining the equations, we discuss their prop- erties and possible implications. As by-products, we also present a novel derivation of the Einstein equations from the thermodynamics of causal diamonds and a derivation of the logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy from the existence of minimal re- solvable area. Apart from the new results, we also provide an extensive review of the thermodynamics of local causal horizons. 1

Regular sources of spacetimes with singularities
Papajčík, Matúš ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Žofka, Martin (referee)
Since the formulation of Einstein's equations of general relativity, analytical methods were aplied to find their solutions. The complexity and the nonlinear character of the equations meant big difficulty of searching for solutions. Only recently the field of numerical relativity has been developed, which offered a much wider means of research of the properties o these equations. In this thesis we firstly solved the problem of regularization of newtonian sin- gular potential by the method of binding potentials. Next we aplied the methods in general theory of relativity, where we found a suitable source and its pressu- res of the same spherically symmetrical problem. Further we investigated this known Schwarzschild solution in Weyl coordinates for better understanding and comparison of Bonnor's results.

Electromagnetic Waves in Dispersiveand Refractive Relativistic Systems
Bezděková, Barbora ; Bičák, Jiří (advisor) ; Heyrovský, David (referee)
Study of light rays (light world lines) plays a significant role in many of astro- physical applications. Light rays are mainly studied in terms of so-called grav- itational lensing. However, the majority of studies are mainly focused on light propagation in vacuum. If the refractive and dispersive medium characterised by refractive index n is considered, effects occurring due to the medium presence need to be taken into account, which significantly complicates the problem. In the present thesis, rays propagating through simple refractive and dispersive systems, such as plane differentially sheared medium, are studied. In order to simplify the problem, the Hamiltonian equations of motion are used. The ray trajectories in the vicinity of Kerr black hole as well as accessible regions for the rays are also studied. Radial variation of the medium velocity is considered. Due to the recent increase of publications focused on the gravitational lensing in plasma, a detailed review summarizing the results obtained recently is included. 1

Parameterization of the Kerr solution
Miškovský, David ; Švarc, Robert (advisor) ; Scholtz, Martin (referee)
In this thesis we are exploring basic properties of the Kerr solution using se- veral coordinate systems. Later on, we are deriving general metric form of the spacetime foliated by null hypersurfaces. Employing the formalism of optical sca- lars we shall see, that geometry of a such a spacetime is non-twisting, that is it admits existence of a non-twisting affinely parametrized null geodesic congru- ence. Subsequently, we are trying to express the Kerr solution in the form of non-twisting coordinates. This form would have many applications e.g. in forma- lism of weakly isolated horizons (WHIs) for use in more realistic astrophysical models of black holes.

Physical interpretation of special solutions of Einstein-Maxwell equations
Ryzner, Jiří ; Žofka, Martin (advisor)
In Newtonian physics, it is possible to establish static equilibrium in a system, which consists of extremal sources of gravitational and electromagnetic field. Surprisingly, this situation can occur in general relativity for black holes, too. This work examines a special case involving an infinitely long, straight, extremally charged string, studies its geometry, electrogeodesics, properties of the source and compares the solution to Newtonian physics. We also investigate an analogous situation in a dynamic spacetime with cosmological constant, and we compare it to the static version. Finally, we investigate a periodical solution of Laplace's equation corresponding to infinitely many extremal point sources distributed at regular intervals along a straight line. We study the properties of the electrostatic potential and show that in the limit of large distances from the axis formed by the sources, the solution approaches the charged string. 1

Physical interpretation of special solutions of Einstein-Maxwell equations
Ryzner, Jiří ; Žofka, Martin (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee)
V klasické fyzice m·že být ustavena statická rovnováha v soustavě, která obsahuje extrémně nabité zdroje gravitačního a elektromagnetického pole. Udivujícím faktem je, že tato situace m·že nastat i pro černé díry v relativis- tické fyzice. Tato práce vyšetřuje speciální případ nekonečně dlouhé, extrémně nabité struny, zkoumá geometrii prostoročasu, elektrogeodetiky, vlastnosti zdroje a srovnává řešení se situací v klasické fyzice. Dále se zabýváme analogickou situací v dynamickém prostoročase s kosmologickou konstantou, a řešení porovnáváme s jeho statickou verzí. Nakonec zkoumáme periodické řešení Laplaceovy rovnice, které odpovídá nekonečně mnoha extremálním bodovým zdroj·m rozloženým v pravidelném rozestupu podél přímky. Vyšetřujeme vlastnosti elektrostatického potenciálu a ukazujeme, že v limitě velké vzdálenosti od osy tvořené zdroji pře- chází toto řešení v nabitou strunu. 1

Standard and alternative cosmological models
Pulnova, Yelyzaveta ; Acquaviva, Giovanni (advisor) ; Žofka, Martin (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is the study of the dependence of the scale factor on the cosmic time for different models of Universe's evolution in the framework of the general theory of relativity. In this thesis we consider the FLRW metric and admit nonzero curvature. The models we consider differ from each other by the equation of state of the source, hence by the composition of the cosmic fluid under study. In this thesis the following models are discussed: ΛCDM (we consider a perfect cosmic fluid consisting of the incoherent dust, radiation and a cosmological constant in a curved space-time), generalized Chaplygin gas, and, also, two kinds of the scalar field (describing separately power-law inflation and the period after recombination). The numerical and analytical results obtained are processed graphically. 1
